SOLITUDE AETURNUS - Through The Darkest Hour CD

This my friends is what I consider to be the greatest album of all time from the greatest band of all time. Solitude Aeturnus’ 3rd full length album is an example of everything going right. It is doom metal perfected, hell it’s metal perfected and I can never get enough of it.

Solitude Aeturnus have taken the sound they developed on their first two releases and perfected it. This album has more of a Sabbath-esque groove to the riffs than the first two, sacrificing some of the more epic power/Candlemass like feelings. The music is still epic as fuck, it’s just the band have finally found a nice niche to fit into that is entirely their own. The perfect balance of melody, epicness (I don’t care if it’s not a word), heaviness and groove. The album crushes from start to finish, pure and simple.
